There is an article on lighting in the most recent Cannabis Culture magazine that discusses the various light sources used to grow weed. After reading the fluoro section, I doesn’t accurately describe the results you can achieve with an all fluoro grow. It mentions that plants will strech and root systems won’t develop as fast if kept under fluors during the veg phase. They used a fancy word, Phototropic, to describe stretching. It goes to say the lights are only good for seedlings and unrooted clones. While this could happen, it is easily corrected by positioning your lights within a couple of inches from the canopy, something you can do with fluoros since they are much cooler than HID's. Rather than addressing what you could do to avoid this problem, the article chooses to solve this dilemma by getting larger, more powerful lights for flowering. Here is a pic of a Lifesaver plant I vegged under a cool spectrum cfl. The internodes are tight and the roots are strong. The last pic is from a recent cfl grow which yielded 6oz of dried bud from 3 plants. Photo what!
